			<div class="aboutus">
				<p>Firstping manages over 20,000 networking devices and servers. Our services are available directly from us or through our carrier partners. We were founded in 2008 and established our managed services business in 2010 . Firstping was established on the notion of bringing value to the market by solving that problem. Firstping focuses creating customer value by providing creative managed solutions that optimize network performance and costs.</p>
				<p>In 2008-2009, Firstping noticed market trends in the form of declining costs of bandwidth, storage, and computing power combined with virtualization and the investment of data center infrastructure. The cost savings and risk mitigation of a hardened data center. Firstping surmised that applications would not work as effectively over the WAN as they did LAN. This has been affirmed by numerous studies pointing to application performance issues being experienced industry wide. In response, Firstping has delivered services designed to help customers improve application performance by managing products.</p>
				<p>Firstping offers and services continue to be guided by developing market trends and a concentration on solving customer problems. We call this approach "The Optimized Network", which focuses on delivering the following benefits:</p>
